Don't jump the gun on this one people. Sometimes false accuzations are made for revenge or pesonal benefit. It happened to someone very close to me. In the end he was found not guilty and his daughter 15 years later admitted it was a lie. She claimed she was put up to it by a mother and older sister. He spent 2 years in jail before finally clearing his name. This is why im asking the public to let facts come forth first. I find this hard to believe with this man being accused has kids and a grandkid of his own. I knew one of his kids and it seemed as he did a good job with them.
